Bridgette bursts out of her room, wearing her coronation dress. She finishes pinning ribbons in her hair. Seeing the hustle and bustle of preparations, she can’t help but SING.

"THE WINDOW IS OPEN!

SO'S THAT DOOR!

I DIDN'T KNOW THEY DID THAT ANYMORE.

WHO KNEW WE OWNED 8000 SALAD PLATES...?"

She sings sliding along the floor of the ballroom in her socks.

"FOR YEARS I HAVE ROAMED THESE EMPTY HALLS

WHY HAVE A BALLROOM WITH NO BALLS?

FINALLY, THEY'RE OPENING UP THE GATES!"

She continues shaking hands with a suit of armor. Breaks it. Hides the evidence.

"THERE'LL BE REAL, ACTUAL PEOPLE

IT'LL BE TOTALLY STRANGE.

BUT WOW AM I SO READY FOR THIS CHANGE!

Bridgette comes to a window and jumps out onto a window washer’s pulley. She raises herself up to see the ships arriving.

"FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER
,THERE'LL BE MUSIC, THERE'LL BE LIGHT.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,I'LL BE DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT.

Bridgette walks through the garden and follows a family of geese.

"DON'T KNOW IF I'M ELATED OR GASSY

,BUT I'M SOMEWHERE IN THAT ZONE'

CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER

,I WON'T BE ALONE."

"I can’t wait to meet everyone....(GASP) What if I meet THE ONE?" She says temporary stopping her singing.

Bridgette twists herself in a velvet drape like it’s a gown. She acts like she looks gorgeous, but she looks ridiculous.

"TONIGHT, IMAGINE ME GOWN

AND ALL-FETCHINGLY DRAPED AGAINST THE WALL.

THE PICTURE OF SOPHISTICATED GRACE."

She siny noticing the bust of a man across the room.

"(google-eyed)I SUDDENLY SEE HIM STANDING

THERE,A BEAUTIFUL STRANGER TALL AND FAIR.

(mouth full of chocolate)I WANNA STUFF SOME CHOCOLATE IN MY FACE!"

She grabs the bust of the man and swings it around.

"BUT THEN WE LAUGH AND TALK ALL EVENING,WHICH IS TOTALLY BIZARRE.

NOTHING LIKE THE LIFE I'VE LED SO FAR."

The bust goes flying and lands on the top of the cake. -Anna bursts into the portrait room, bounces on the furniture, and interacts with the paintings.

"FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER

,THERE'LL BE MAGIC, THERE'LL BE FUN.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,I COULD BE NOTICED BY SOMEONE.

AND I KNOW IT IS TOTALLY CRAZY TO DREAM I'D FIND ROMANCE.

BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER

,AT LEAST I'VE GOT A CHANCE!

.......

Marinette, now a very poised 21, watches out the window as the coronation guests arrive.

ELSADON'T LET THEM IN.

DON'T LET THEM SEE.

BE THE GOOD GIRL YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE.

Marinette moves to a painting of her father’s coronation. She takes off her gloves and mimics the painting by holding a candlestick and ornament in place of an orb and scepter.

CONCEAL.

DON'T FEEL.

PUT ON A SHOW.

MAKE ONE WRONG MOVEAND EVERYONE WILL KNOW.

The candlestick and ornament ice over with reddish pink ice. Elsa gasps, slams them back down onto the table. She tries to reassure herself.

BUT IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY.

We cut between Anna’s excitement and Elsa’s nerves.

"IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY!" Bridgette sings.

"IT'S AGONY TO WAIT." Marinette sings.

"IT'S AGONY TO WAIT!!!" Bridgette sings.

"TELL THE GUARDS TO OPEN UP THE GATE.ANNATHE GATE!!!" Marinette sings.

Finally, the gates are open! Anna moves through the crowd, admiring the people around her.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER.

DON'T LET THEM IN DON'T LET THEM SEE

I'M GETTING WHAT I'M DREAMING OF

BE THE GOOD GIRL YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE

A CHANCE TO LEAVE MY SISTER'S WORLD

A CHANCE TO FIND TRUE LOVE

CONCEAL.CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL.

DON'T LET THEM KNOW.

Anna hurries over the bridge and into the village square.

I KNOW IT ALL ENDS TOMORROW,SO IT HAS TO BE TODAY!!

‘CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER. . .
